I discovered what I believe is a bug in DXBase 2002's batch QSO label printing 
routine.

I am using a standard DXBase 3 QSO label design on Avery 5960 (5160) label 
sheets.  To keep the label sheets from jamming in my HP printer, I print one 
page at a time.

If my first 5960 sheet (10 rows by 3 columns) for a print run starts somewhere 
beyond the first label, say in the 10th position (row 4 col 1), the first 21 
labels in my print run are printed OK.  When I print the second page, using the 
print range page 2 to page 2, DXBase 2002 starts with label number 31 in the 
QSO label database and prints 30 labels on the sheet.  Labels 22 to 30 are 
NEVER PRINTED, however DXBase updates the QSO records to show QSL S and SENT 
DATE for these not-printed labels.  DXbase should have started page 2 with 
label 22 and so on.

I have been catching up on a lot of QSLing the past month.  Several thousand 
direct and buro cards in dozens of batches.  DXBase has probably marked as sent 
several hundred QSLs which are in fact not sent.  What a mess.
